Affirmative Action Statement
The Board of Vernon College (VC) has adopted a policy of equal opportunity in employment and in all other human resources functions of this institution. It is against the policy of the college to discriminate against, or exclude from participation in any benefits or activities either on the employees or in the student body, any person on the grounds of race, color, gender, religion, age, disability, or national origin.
It is the policy of VC to provide equal employment opportunity in full compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 (Section 503, 504), the American with Disabilities Act, the Vietnam Era Veterans Assistance Act of 1974, Texas Statutes 6252-14 V.A.T.S. and 6252-16 V.A.T.S., and Executive Orders 11246 and 11758.
The College President is responsible for general implementation of this policy. The Director of Human Resources has been designated as the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer. Each supervisor is responsible for the administration of this policy within his/her area of responsibility. Ultimately, the success of this Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and Affirmative Employment Plan depends upon every employee of the college.
